GM to advertise newfull-size SUVs by emphasizing....fuel economy?

According to inside sources, GM plans to market its new line of full-size SUVs by emphasizing....wait for it.....fuel economy! Chevrolet says the four-wheel-drive version of the 2007 Tahoe will get 21 mpg in highway driving, up from the current model's 19 mpg. Both models get 15 mpg in city driving. Apparently, that's sufficiently greater than its competitors to be worth bragging about.

And in other news, the makers of Twinkies and Ho-Hos announced a new ad campaign today that will emphasize the healthfulness and nutrition of their tasty snacks...yeah.
